APPENDIX II 



CONTAINING 



LATIN DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW GENERA AND SPECIES. 



According to Article 36 of the second International Congress of Botanists held at 

 Vienna in 1905, it is requisite that the diagnoses of new plants should be published in Latin. 

 The novelties in the preceding pages have been described in English ; and in order to safe-guard 

 their priority and ensure their validity it seems advisable to render their diagnoses into Latin.
